Exam 1 Review Flashcards
shift of bands greater than 6% indicates
infection
What is the treatment for sinus tachycardia?
find underlying cause
What’s the treatment for torsades?
magnesium
What is the antagonist for Versed, Valium and Ativan?
flumazenil or rozimcon
Most accurate O2 delivery?
venturi mask
Highest delivery of O2 using low-flow oxygen (aka excluding CPAP/BIPAP, high flow cannula, vented trach and ET tube ventilation)
non rebreather
how much can non rebreather give
10-15
Proper inflation of ET cuff? What happens if overinflated?
20-25
necrosis
What are some causes of metabolic alkalosis?
-Loss of gastric acid from vomiting
-Diuretics that lead to hypokalemia
-Burns that lead to volume depletion
-Antacid overdose
-Primary hyperaldosteronism
Elevated leads in an anterior vs inferior MI
Inferior MI- shows in leads II, III and AVF
Anterior MI- shows in leads V2, V3, and V4 (sometimes V5 and V6 if severe)
Geriatric population is prone to which acid-base disorder?
Metabolic acidosis and dehydration due to decreased function of renal tubules
Why are geriatric patients more at risk for negative effects due to polypharmacy?
Decreased liver function
main problem with a fib
problem with the atrias
what are a fib at risk for
blood clots
mural thrombi
treatment for 3rd degree
pacemaker
sinus bradycardia is caused by
hypoxia
afterload is
force the heart pumps against
prelaod
degree of stretch
anterior MI
V2, V3, V4
inferior MI
2, 3, avf
most accurate way to recieve oxygen
venturi
most amount to recieve oxygen
non rebreather
inflate ET to much
necrosis
after putting an ET in what should we do
listen for breath sounds
how to treat sinus tach
underlying cause
- fever, meds, exercise, anxiety
difference between sinus arrhythmia and sinus rhythm
arrhythmia is IRREGULAR
what happens with the P and T wave in SVT
blend together
what will you not see in junctional
P wave
couplet
2 next to each other
bigeminy
every second beat
trigeminy
every third beat
what is the first thing you do in Vtach
assess your patient for a pulse
treatment for Vtach with a pulse
adenosine
cardioversion
valsalva mauver
treatment for Vtach without. pulse
CPR and defibrillator
treatment for torsades
cardioversion and mag
cause of torsades
QT prolongation, meds, hypokalemia, subarachnoid bleed
course v fib is called
undefinable
what do we do if someone is in vfib
assess pulse
* should be pulsless
first degree AV block
long PR interval
over 0.20
second degree type 1
long PR and get longer and then drops QRS
2nd degree type 2 how does the PR look
fixed but you just have random drops
3rd degree how will it look
everything is there just random
not in synch
treatment for third degree
pacemaker
only difference between BBB and idioventricular is the
P wave in BBB
normal AV paced is called
DDD
failure to sense undersensing
decrease MV which increases sensitivity
failure to sense over sensing
increase MV which decreases sensivitvuty
how will a failure to caputure look
spikes in correct spot but no following waves
what to avoid with a pacemaker
large magnet fields
V fib first thing
assess
hold what meds with bradycardia
blood pressure meds
mallampadi score
1 is easy
4 is hardest
reversal agents
narcan: opoids
flumazenil: benzo
how to confirm Et
X ray and breathsoinds
what if you have ET but don’t hear breathsounds
in too deepo
ET tube infation
20-25
elderly decrease function of what organ due to what
kidney/ M. acidosis
liver/polypharm
hypoxia criteria
less than 80
severe hypoxia criteria
less than 60
how far above should the ET tube be
4cm above carina
ASA sedation score
1: healthy
5: dying with out surgery
how to find CO
HR X Stroke volumec
categories for stroke volume
preload
afterload
contracility
capture definition
hearts response to pacemaker stimuli
sensing
detect electrical activity
transcutaneous pacemaker
on the skin
epicardial pacemaker
after heart surgery
transvenous pacemaker
in surgery
most physiologic pacing
DDD
monitor after PTCA for
bleeding
what can cause metabolic alkalosis
vomiting
diuretics - hypokalemia
burns
antacids
primary hyperaldosteronism
